Yesterday we rt ceived. the Paris Palms of Thursday last, and this morning those of Friday:— The Chamber of Deputies concluded the discus sion on the ,Budget on Wedne , :day, when- the votes being taken on the whole Projet, it was agreed to, 176 to 30. The following Report was then presented by the Duke de GAETE from the Commjitee on the Projet‘ respect in v. the Liquidations, and which (tbe Duke being indisposed) was read by M. Bois: : " :11Essuxus,—The Committee appointed to examine the Projet respecting the creation of 13,040,000 francs of Rentes • f‘tr the entire discharge of the debts due to foreigners, to be liquidated in exec-116.m of the treaty of the 30th May, 1814, and of an eventual credit of 24,000,000 of Rentes for the pur pose of completing the discharge of the sunscdue to the Al tied Powers under Art. 4 of the Treaty of the 20th Not• 1815, Las impose 4 upon me the painful du , y of rendering yon an account of their opinions respecting this double arrange ment. " Your Committee, persuaded of the solicitude felt by the Government in the arrangement of this clilficnit affair, and confiding, on the other hand, in the hopes held out of the liberation of our territory, in consequence of the stipulations of a Convention all the Lordensome clauses of which have been so religiously fulfilled by France, yield, as the Gosern• rnent itself does, town inflexible necessity, in proposing to you.the entire and simple adoption of the Projet 'presented `tp yon." " They have merely thought, that the adoption of the law would under necessary a particular arrangement for secaring the payment of the first half year, falling due on the 22d of September next, of the'l6,olo,ooo re:des." The Report concludes by presenting t Projet, with an fltillitiotliti article, as follows : The budget of the consolidated debt for IFIIB shall be - 'charged with the sum of 8,020,000 francs for the payment of the first half year, falling doe on the 21d September next, of the 16,010,000 'francs of recites created by thc present law. " The receipts of the budget ehall be augmented to an . equal anumnt by means of an addition of 600 4 000 francs of rentes to thecredit of ni,rirfo, , x)o, to the amount of which the l‘iini6ter is authorist'd to open loans fur the service of 1818." In the article respecting the evcutual credit of e 24, MO,OOO francs of rentes, the Committee pro posed to snbstiti)te the words " opened to the Government" instead of " to the Minister of Finance." The Report and the amended Projet were or tiered to he printed, and the opening' of the dis cussion was fixed for Fi iday last, to which day the Chamber adjourned. We recently stated, that the Chamber of Peers had, on the recommendation of the Committee of Petitions, refereed a Petition of Lord KINNAIRD, the nat ore of which was not then mentioned in the Paris Journals, to the President of the Council of Niinisters. The Journals of Thursday give the Repot of the Committee of the Chamber of Peers alluded to, in which the Petition (in the form of a letter) of Lord Kt NNAi RD is given as follows : " MEsszeuns,--”A Frenchman“ condemned to death by a Prevotal Court, offered to frustrate a meditated assassination of the Duke of Wellington, some days before the attempt was mule to commit that crime in the month of February last. This person, who Merely demanded a safe conduct for biniself to go to France and return to t Brnssels, having seen a Letter of the Duke of Wellington, containing an assurance that the French Govetnment were ready to treat with him, a guarantee which appeared to the Duke of Richmo•id, as well as to myself, to be complete, came to Paris, where there was every reason to hope he might render a considerable service. The memorial subjoined to this Petition will inform you, Messieurs, of the measures which have loaded with chains the man who confided in the word of his Government. I have in vain claimed the exact fulfilment of the engagements entered into with this indi vidual through my intervention, by the King's Ministers. A Peer of Great Britain, I think it my duty to make known to the Chamber of Peers of France this infraction of a right highly entitled to be respected—soliciting the Chamber to con descend to support my demand with the King's Ministers. " I have the honour to be, &c. " Paris, 13th April, 1818, KINNAIRD." The Memorial was not read, nor is it given. The Committee say that the result of their infor mation was, that no safe conduct was given or promised, and that the guarantees proposed were all conditional, and this conclusion, they 'add, is confiirrted by the'le:ter of the Duke of WaLtING TON to 'the Minister of General Police, of which they give the • following extract Your Excellency will judge for yourself, wht;iher lily letter, of which I send an exaLt copy, says a vcord aboutthe journey of the Sieur Marinet to Paris, or gives him any gua; ranter whatever. " You will see that I hare not take❑ upon myself to make any promise to any person whatever, On the part of the . French Government, and that therefore those from whops it is asseeted these guarantees has e been . received deny having given them." _ . The Report then proceeds to state, "the French Government,in its eager desire to discover the prin cipals and the accomplices in. so atrocious and odious a crime, announced' its intention of enter ing into A negocki ion with him who could give the desired information. " The Dnke of ll'ellington in his Leiftcr tothe British Am_ bassadur in the Netherlauds, in announcing this intention of our Governmenst, 'added, that he 'should nut en his own ac count take any part, and that he did not intend to go I)eyonl th:c - OiliCiaj dr judicial means of discovering the criminals. " It is, however, t!lis single phrase in the Duke's letter upon u•bicrappears to have been founded the confidence of Lord Kinuaird in proceeding to France • with ;the Sieur Nlarinet. It is subsequently statett, " that the. Sietai. MARINET wins at liberty for several days at Paris, and that be was not arrested for any cause arising out of his former condemnation, but on suspicion (in consequence of A subsequent infor mation) of his being-concerned in the conspiracy which he had promised to develope, but respecting which he bad disclosed next to nothing." In the conclusion-it is stated, that the person supposed to be the aSssassin has been discovered, by means wholly Unconnected_ with the disclo striei-of the Sieur MARINET. It is reported:in an article from Constantino ple, that the Porte are about to equip five ships of the line and some frigates, for the purpose of compelling the Barbary Regencies to submit to the domination) of the Ottoman Empire. It is stafed front Naples, that a Co►►vention had been sip:red with England, am) Spain, by which the subjects of, these Powers are to be placed io the Two . Sicilies upon the footing of those of the most favoured nations, and to hate a diminution in their favour of 10 per cent, in the duties on merchaDdize linpOrted into the Nea politan dominions, together with other advan tages. The trial at Albi was still continuing oil the 24th ult. which was the 27th day of the proceed ing; but there is tiotiting further of interest in the details. The Duke of WELLI NGTON, previous to I►is de parture front Paris, dined on Thursday with the King. From Vienna it is stated to be finally arranged, that the meeting of Sovereigns is to take place, not at Dusseldorf, but-at- Aix-la-Chapelle. FIVE PER CENTS. Wednesday -64 f. c.

LA MINERVE, a weekly political Pamphlet, edited by BENJAMIN DE CONSTANT, M. ETIENNE, SAY, JOUY, &C. has thought proper to attack our Parisian , Correspondent. M. ETIENNE is spokes man for the Company. We have just read the last number, in which M. E. complains bitterly that our Correspondent is better informed on po litical affairs than even the Editors of La Minerre. " lie draws," says he, " from good sources, and I shall take care to inform our Readers of all that this Paper (in E .SVN> shall hereafter publish on our affairs. It appears to receive important con fidence, &c." This notice, limn .the pen of an enemy on the spot, whose profession is news hunting, justifies all we have formerly asserted on the .subject, and we feel rthat M. ETIENNE cannot do a more acceptable service to his country than to translate our articles into the Minerre. But 'will he do so ? No. His Country, to M. ETIENNE, sinks in the consideration at that of his Party, and we need not say th it they are the apostles of LIBERTY, alias REVOLUTION. But to M. E 's promise ; it does not appear from the article before us that he will be able to keep it, for he either knows little of English or he ‘ wilfully mistranslates passages, t%hich amounts to the same thing. We apprehend that the two causes are combined, for he states that our Cor respondent says, that in the future Elections, Prefects, Attoruies- General, Receivers• General, &c. or persons who wish to have such places, only, should he elected. English uthanity pre vents our using a very homely phrase to M-. • ETIENNE, 'Alt we appeal to our Readers ‘..liether such an assertion- be not false and unfounded io every sense of tha word. There is this difference between our Correspondent and M. EttaNtia, and the writers of his class : the former compares and Weighs every thing in its relations with the happiness of France, and the'cOnsequent tran quillity of Europe ; the latter only Cutpate tbein under the relations they bear to the iuterest or dis advantage of'the Jacobi hence flit=y arc not likely to agreein man)? points. But, after all, we must DIV quarrel with M. ETIENNE, whose spite!) is principally excited by the fact that a Foreigner knows the affairs of France better titan the great Phalanx of the Editors of tire Minerve, and he dismisses us to fall on The Times, whose . Cortitspondents he attacks with the greatest viru lence. , The one, says he, is a Foreigner, who coldly observes our debates ; the other unblush ingly outrages whatever is not aerial he is a soi disant Frenchman, who denounces us to Eng land, ; but to make amends, he attributes to him the article which first appeared in THE SUN, and was written for it, concerning the violation of the graves of those who fell at Agincourt. . . . A Flanders Jlnil arrived last . nig!-:t Papers to Friday last. According to the following article front Meiningen, the: betrothtnent of the Duke of CLARENCE and the. Princess of SARA MISININGEN has actually taken place : ME:NINGEN, APRIL 19.—T0-day the final declaration Was made at 'Court of the betrothing of our most Serene Princess Adelaide to H. lt.

JESl'l' wi3s taken ill, *on Saturday evening, with a spasmodic affection, during an ewe' (aintment given by the Duke and Duchess of YouK. Her AIAJEsTY.is supposed to have taken cold from having been rather too thinly clothed during an airing which she tc:ok in .Iter .garden chaise, on Saturday morning, in the grounds of her Palace. We are gratified, however, in learning, that she was better yesterday.evtning.

THE BRITISH MO , NITOE .-ThIS Weekly Paper yesterday took our translation of the intetestmg Patnphlet, which %ye received from Paris, and which exclusively appeared in Tnr...Su N of Friday and Saturday List, but without acknowledgment.
